Best Praise
+43 pts“I feel that. I really wanted the Alpha but after carrying it for a couple weeks I really missed my Signal. I bought the yellow accessories for the Signal to match my watch lol. https://preview.redd.it/orku0ivznhyf1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=d221571fcd7280247a7e2b34dfaff1c0000b72a0”

+6 pts“Signal is pretty unpopular, even amongst bushcrafters/wilderness survivalist. Most people into that kind of stuff pick a Wave. Out of the all the contestants on the survival show "Alone", about 90% of them picked the Wave with a Free P4, a Surge or two and maybe a couple Victorinox models thrown into the mix. All are good tools, just slightly different. The Arc hasn't been out long enough to be on there, we'll see if it makes an appearance. Can't go wrong with a Wave or Arc if you want to spend a few extra bucks. I have a ton of Waves stashed everywhere in bags, closets, desks and drawers. I have one Arc. The Arc is too expensive for me to just have one to stash everywhere so I use that with more intent. The Arc is definitely nice, probably nicer than the Wave but I still like my Waves a lot. Since you plan to use it for work, it might be worth splurging for an Arc but you spent be disappointed with a Wave either.”
